GP Q&A: Phil Harrison talks future of the PS3

On criticism towards the PS3

[QUOTE="Phil Harrison"]

It doesn't concern me. This isn't a sprint or a three-month race - this is a ten-year marathon. And I know that we have the technology and the architecture to make the PS3 last more than ten years as a software format. We have future-proof technologies that will allow game designers to do amazing things with the system. So I have no concerns at all about what we'll deliver later this year, next year, and for the next eight years.

Also, by what measure was the launch of the PS3 not a success? We sold out everywhere, we overcame the manufacturing issues quickly and are now satisfying demand, and we've sold more systems more quickly than we did with the PS1 or PS2. What's not to love about that?
